I am very new at VB, using VB 2008 Express. I have created a very simple splash window (form) which will reside on a CD and autorun. It contains one button which should launch the index.htm file from a folder on the same CD. I have searched through help in VB which I find poor, and on the net where most examples are very complicated. I understand that the ShellExecute API must be used so the default browser software is started.

The form should close once the browser is activated. Is using the following correct: Me.Close()

Is it also possible to force the browser to allow active content instead of it stopping the load of flash movies and Spry widgets until the user enables active content?

Thanks in advance.
